Quake fails to stop Yunnan wedding

Increases the bookmark

Yong Banong and his bride Bao Xiang are seen in a makeshift wedding tent in Yingjiang, Southwest China's Yunnan province, June 1, 2014. The couple's newly decorated house was ruined by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake on May 30, just two days before their scheduled nuptials. Local custom dictates it is unlucky to change a wedding date once set and local government lent a hand by offering a tent for the occasion. Yong, an ethnic Jingpo doctor and Bao, a primary school teacher, met four years ago. (Photo/Xinhua)
